4 coat today 2 base epoxy (white) and 2 2k black. started with a broken gas line from last night when some concrete did some settling, lost my heat, was at menards at 615 am, for a gas line and some couplings. Torched thru 4 inches of frost found line and spliced done by 10 am masked the lift off and grabbed some supplies at the paint store, started spraying at 2pm finished at 8pm tonight my ass is spent, got a few bleed thrus, but will be shooting one more coat of 2k after body work and seam sealer. a mile stone completed, sand sand sand.

Dang, that's the way it goes sometimes. This Michigan winter has been a cold one, but closer to normal I guess. I bet it feels good though to have another big milestone behind you. Looks really good Don!

thanks, and that milestone sure feels great, got most of the metal working tools away already had a few out for a few missed welds that needed some grinding. A little more cleanup and organization, then make a big mess with some rage, sandpaper, and scotchbright. Went to my paint supplier to check on some more 2k and get the base/clear plum crazy coming. thinking 2 to 3 weeks max, should be all purple.

some dry pics, with lights, got pretty good coverage went thru a gallon of black 2k

got a few missed spots and bleed thrus in some cracks. with some minor body work on some welds, will be shooting a few more coats with some reducer to thin it out a bit to smooth and fill, should work out pretty good

well took several days off, got out there yesterday for about 6 hours, block sanded as much as possible, filled a few weld grinds, and finger sand the small crevices and odd transitions. doing extra in the trunk and engine compartment will be surfacing those areas with a few extra coats of 2k. Probably just one more under the car.

Doing a good job at keeping at it. Sometimes it's best to step back and see what is missed or something not to forget.

yep, I've been going around and around, everytime I find more. my son was sitting in a chair and noticed the cowl area above the wiper motor was bent down a bit never would have found it walking around the car.

 

[don selleck]

well found some more crusty stuff on the underside of the cowl, sanded as best as I could get to it, had a can left of the frame rust encapsulater spray, so blasted it in pretty heavy, saw a few light spots in the new fender braces I welded in so emptied the rest of the can in there. My friend who owns the body shop where I've been getting my paint from, hid father went into hospice last friday, so haven't been bothering him abouy the rest of the paint system, so will be painting some chassis and steering column parts this week to stay busy.
